| May 8, 2013 at 7:39 | comment | added | TtT23 | As far as I'm aware, Jeff is no longer involved with Stack Exchange, so at least we should be able to review this decision. Mods, please reconsider adding this feature. | |
| May 7, 2013 at 12:20 | comment | added | Doorknob | Why are you completely and utterly ignoring the community? :/ | |
| Feb 25, 2013 at 9:14 | comment | added | nawfal | Why would u just decline without stating the reason behind this annoying feature? what philosophy behind it? Totally undemocratic. | |
| Feb 21, 2013 at 20:49 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | @Jaguar: Being a site founder is not an automatic rep factory. It doesn't guarantee you upvotes on your answers. Heaven forbid! | |
| Feb 21, 2013 at 1:05 | comment | added | Doorknob | Obviously the community greatly disagrees with you! Just at least status-review this or something. WE WANT THIS | |
| Feb 10, 2013 at 0:04 | comment | added | Mechanical snail | @Jaguar: Because we're all ingrates. No, because it's a bad answer. | |

@Shog9 why this answer has -144 score. Even if was answered by site founder!

| Nov 30, 2011 at 15:55 | comment | added | rlemon | @JeffAtwood what can you say about this? the close votes no longer expire, and we do not have the ability to remove our own close vote against a question. Please, listen to the community on this one. We enjoy self-moderation, and this would greatly benefit the quality of our efforts by giving the ability to be more accurate with our voting | |
| Nov 21, 2011 at 14:40 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | "Also note that all close votes automatically expire after two days." Not any more.... | |
| Nov 21, 2011 at 12:46 | comment | added | Martin Smith | The two day expiration is no longer true leading to huge numbers of answers with close votes. Allowing us to retract close votes that no longer apply would make this more managable. | |
| Sep 29, 2011 at 18:19 | comment | added | Ben Lee | Out of your impressive collection of 4300+ answers, this answer is by a good margin your most down-voted one. And on top of that, 99% of the answers and comments are in favor of making this change, and most of the other 1% are indifferent. Why are you completely ignoring the fact that the community is heavily in favor of this change? | |
| Sep 9, 2011 at 15:31 | comment | added | Madara's Ghost | I disagree with that approach, nearly everything else on the site is undoable, why not close votes? Just because a question can be reopened later doesn't mean it will happen (closing is generally much "easier" then reopening). Please reconsider @Jeff | |
| Jan 28, 2011 at 17:45 | comment | added | Phrogz | It's great that votes age (I did not know that) but it doesn't take two days for someone to fix their question. You say that this feature has been declined because there is a way to glue the vase together after it has been broken...but we'd rather not break the vase to begin with. Please reconsider. | |
| Aug 16, 2010 at 11:51 | comment | added | devinb | (+1) I think you should focus more strongly on explaining that close votes age. People don't understand that, and so the want to be able to rescind them, because they don't see that they are rescinded automatically. | |

| Mar 23, 2010 at 20:55 | comment | added | Shog9 | @voyager: you can cast a single close and a single open vote on a single question, so you can re-open a question that you've closed. You cannot, however, re-open and then re-close a question if it was closed for the wrong reason. And this does nothing for cases where someone else edits a question into shape post-closing, and then it gets rolled back once re-opened. | |
| Feb 23, 2010 at 14:28 | comment | added | perbert | One more thing: you can't vote twice on the same question, so you can't vote to open if the OP edited the question into shape, or undo your close vote before it closes. | |
| Jan 15, 2010 at 21:36 | comment | added | GManNickG | Not really the same though. People tend to avoid closed questions, and it has very little chance of being reopened if that happens. | |
